What is "fachwirt"

A Fachwirt is a higher professional qualification in Germany allocated to level 6 of the European Qualifications Framework, where it was translated to Business Management Specialist. To facilitate appreciation of the Fachwirt internationally, the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (Deutscher Industrie- und Handelskammertag, DIHK) proposed Bachelor Professional as the English translation. However, due to the danger of confusion with academic degrees, this motion was rejected by the German state ministers of education.
